You do have to wonder what "plan" snowden had... he was identified publicly on June 9th, but didn't leave HK until the June 23rd using the incredibly creative idea of leaving on a plane using his real passport/ID. Makes me think there was no plan at all -- he was just planning to stay in HK originally... http://news.yahoo.com/timeline-u-hong-kong-communication-snowden-000522295.html http://news.yahoo.com/timeline-u-hong-kong-communication-sno...

My take is that he panicked. He knows he's researched, and might be killed, and he reads what's going on on internet, and he just starts to freak out. He has to start freaking out. In the end he's just convinced he's going to lose if he stays in HK, he cannot stand that anymore and decide to cancel his "plan" and leave HK.
